Caribbean Archaeology

This
course is an introductory overview of the archaeology of the Caribbean Islands,
the region where the Old World encountered the New World in AD 1492. The approach
is historical and lectures will revolve around three themes:

ancient population
movements from continental South America and between islands,

regional
interaction spheres and exchange networks, and

local adaptations / historical
developments, from c. 4000 BC up to and including the 'Columbian'
encounter, AD 1492-1530.
